My voice suddenly dropped: "Alan, are you impatient again?"
"No, no, no..." Allen quickly explained: "My magic power has been exhausted again, and I will soon fall into a short sleep. If you want to save your friends, you have to cooperate with Annie. Apart from me, she is the only one We can find a way to break the siren curse. You must cooperate!"
"Say it again?" I took out the remaining half of Allen's phalanges from my body. Allen's voice had disappeared. The half of the phalanges in my hand also lost their luster in an instant and became extremely gray. .
I | simply threw the finger bone to Ye Xun, who chopped it into pieces with a sword without hesitation. Anne said at this time: "Wang Huan, I can guarantee you that none of your companions are dead. They were just imprisoned by the sirens. I can help you rescue them. If you don't believe me, I I can also make a contract with you in a way you feel comfortable with.”
"Miss Anne!" Elena exclaimed as she took a step forward, but was blocked by Anne.
When Annie looked into my eyes calmly, I asked in a deep voice: "How can you guarantee that my friend is okay?"
Anne said: "The Siren Curse seems scary, but it takes a very long process from the beginning of the curse to the death of the target. It takes at least half a month to cause death. During this time, the Siren takes it underground The people in prison will definitely not die. I can guarantee this with my life. If your companions die of the curse before we get to the dungeon, I am willing to bury them with them."
"No!" Elena exclaimed: "Miss, how can such a thing be possible..."
Annie waved her hand to stop the other person from talking, and looked into my eyes with clear water. I stared at the other person's eyes for a long time, but I didn't see any emotional fluctuations in the other person's eyes. I said in a deep voice: "You paid such a high price to form an alliance with me. , what exactly is it for?”
"In order to break the family curse!" Anne took a deep breath and said: "Actually, every generation of family members who enter the dark castle do not just come here to wait for death. They will try their best to decipher the secret of the Dunhuang curse before they die. . I hope that one day the Tulip family can get out of the cursed fate. This time, we are infinitely close to breaking the curse. That’s why we dispatched so many family members, but... "
Anne said sadly: "Because of my command error, we lost too many men. If we still can't find an ally, we will lose a rare opportunity, so I can only choose to form an alliance with you."
Anne's words were vague, but I understood the main meaning. As for the curse of the Tulip family, I think now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. At least, Annie won't tell me the truth now.
I crossed my shoulders and said, "I can form an alliance with you, but I must save my friends first. Even if your Tulip family dies, I must save my friends first. If you agree, we You can give me a high-five as an oath. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything else.”
"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Elena stopped: "This contract is too unfair! Miss, you cannot make such an agreement with Wang Huan!"
Annie pushed the other person away gently: "I have no choice now. The only thing I can do is to believe in Wang Huan."
Elena wanted to say something more, but Anne raised her dagger: "What I say now represents the highest decision of the family, and no one is allowed to object!"
Elena could only bow her head and step aside when she saw the dagger. She could not oppose the family's highest decision.
Anne came up and held the dagger in both hands and brought it to me: "This pirate dagger represents the highest authority of the Tulip family. I will lend it to you temporarily. Before we leave the dark castle, all your orders will be followed. It represents the highest decision of the Tulip family and no one may object.”
I took the dagger and looked at it carefully. The dagger had a scabbard made of gold and a handle full of precious stones. Although it had experienced many owners, it was still as shiny as new and cold.
I looked at it for a long time, but I couldn't tell what technique was used to make the dagger over there. So far, the only weapons that I can't figure out how to make are my Mi Tian and Ye Xun's Blood Eyes, and now I'm afraid this dagger will be added to the list.
After looking at it for a moment, I solemnly put the dagger on my waist: "Take me to find my companion!"
"Not yet!" After Annie answered me instinctively, she saw me frowning and quickly explained: "To break the Siren's curse, we first have to get the holy relics that the church lost in the dark castle. That holy object can not only save your friends, but also be the key to breaking the Dunhuang curse."
I wondered: "In a place where demons and curses gather, will there be sacred objects lost by the Holy See?"
"Yes!" Anne solemnly replied: "That sacred object may have been cursed! The family has always suspected that the sacred object is the lost Spear of Destiny."
"Spear of Destiny?" I couldn't help but gasped: "Are you sure?"
The famous "Spear of Destiny" in European mythology is also known as the Spear of Longinus), which was a weapon that once pierced Jesus.
According to the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, a centurion stabbed him in the side with a spear. This centurion was called Longinus. The blood of Jesus dripped into the eyes of Longinus. Longinus was instantly influenced. After that, he gave up his original identity, became a monk, and had the ability to perform miracles. He was later posthumously considered a saint, known as "Saint Longinus".
Legend has it that as long as you hold the Spear of Destiny, everyone within a hundred and twenty feet will surrender, and you can control the fate of the world, but those who lose it will be killed instantly. In the ancient Roman Empire, this spear became a symbol of power, and many A monarch with brilliant records, he won countless battles with this gun in his hand.
However, the Spear of Destiny was later broken into three sections after countless battles and spread to different places. One section of the Spear of Destiny is kept in the Holy See. It is unclear whether the other two sections are authentic. Many people are rumoring that the Spear of Destiny is still wandering somewhere.
If the lost holy object is really the spear of destiny. So why are sacred objects cursed
Anne shook her head and said: "What I said is just the family's guess. No one can prove what the holy object is? However, the holy object must exist within the scope of the dark castle. Otherwise, the Holy Light Knight The group will not go deep into the dark castle."
"Are you talking about the knights who were chasing us?" Although Ye Xun and I killed ten knights, luck accounted for most of them. If all the knights who are chasing us come out to fight against us, Ye Xun and I will most likely be torn apart by random blades.
"Yes!" Anne nodded: "That is one of the four secret knights of the church. The most terrifying thing about the Holy Light Knights is their armor. It is said that their armor comes from a mysterious place. If, according to your words , is the mythical forbidden area in the West. The Holy See paid countless prices to obtain those armors and equip them with the Holy Light Knights. "
I said to myself: "If I had known better, I should have grabbed some armors!"
"It's useless even if you get the Holy Light Armor." Anne shook her head and said: "It is said that the Holy Armor can only be used by knights with pure faith to exert its power. Even if others get it, it can only be called a burden."
When I narrowed my eyes slightly, Anne continued: "Have you noticed that one of the characteristics of the Holy Light Knights is that they do not use firearms?"
I've noticed this a long time ago. With the defense of the sacred armor, if combined with firearms, the Holy Light Knight will be invincible and can easily keep us all in the moat.
Anne said: "From the perspective of the Knights of Holy Light, they are adhering to the tradition of knights; from my perspective, it is just a sign of not following the past."
"Western knights have enjoyed glory for centuries. Knights appear in almost all stories, and many people are even worshiped as gods. It was not until the emergence of muskets that the myth of knights was broken and the era of knights ended. .When a large number of musketeers were established in the West, there were still a group of people who imagined that knights could recreate the glory of the Middle Ages."
I couldn't help but nod my head when I heard this: "There are people everywhere holding the coffin and not letting go. Later, they succeeded?"
"You could say they succeeded, you could say they failed."
Anne continued: "Those people in the era of phantom knights were not lunatics who only knew fantasy. They knew that the knight's armor could not stop the bullets of the musket. So, they set out to find the legendary missing holy knights. Legend, that The knights who once assisted the angels in the decisive battle against the Lord of Hell have indestructible armor and swords that can break everything. Only by obtaining these can they gain a foothold in the West where firearms are prevalent."
Anne paused and said: "Although those knights successfully found the Lost Knights, most of them were unable to use the sacred armor. Only a few knights from the Holy See could use the armor freely. They failed to restore the glory of the knights. , but brought back news of a thousand sets of sacred armors. Let himself live a life like a noble."
"The Holy See obtained the armor and used these armors to form four knights and a papal guard. What you see is the Knights of Holy Light, which is also the weakest of the four holy knights."
The weakest knight group has such powerful combat power. How can the strongest knights be so terrifying
I frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending the Holy See when you take action against the Knights?"
Although the Holy See has lost its former glory, it can no longer override the royal power. However, its status in the West cannot be ignored. It may not be a wise move for the Tulip family to offend the Holy See.
